Castres and Munster teams named for to-morrow’s tie

IT is going to be a big test for Munster when they run out in Castres’ home ground to-morrow but they have named a starting fifteen that could well topple the French. A reliable pack with Dian Bleuler, Niall Scannell and Stephen Archer in the front row, Beirne and Fineen Wycherley in the second row and three boys at the back, O’Mahony, Hodnett and Brian Gleeson seem to be strong enough to withstand the opposition
They may be facing a difficult task but with a backline that is sizzling with talent, Mikey Prendergast’s Reds might just about come away with a second Investec pool win in succession.
